TomPaine Story TomPaine Story: Story People can say that September 11, 2001 was a wake up call. In ways it was but in some ways it still isnt. After the event, people started to feel a patriotic feeling and it was soon all over the U.S. Now people started to appreciate their way of life and realize the evils of the world. They didnt realize that evil has been going on forever only they were too self-centered to care. Now that September 11, came, terrorism has become a face of American life such as potential biological attacks and the anthrax attacks. Things have already faded off a bit and maybe were thinking about the war were at. When and if we an salvage anything good from this, it could only be the reality slap. For the good, people can now appreciate their way of life and everything we have for free. Before then we took for granted everything we have. Unfortunately we maybe going back to our attitudes of before and assume nothing again. Nowadays everything seems to be going back to normal. I know that I feel normal now. September 11 is in the back of my mind but it not something i think about all the time. Its more of a bad memory. Its not exactly life changing but it did open my eyes to things I never thought about before. But I wonder what people will do when the first year anniversary comes around. Will people be sad to the point where they cant work? Ill be sad and Ill give my respects to the people who died but I wont really be to the point of no work.
